In August, 1966, the Beatles played their final concert (at San Francisco's Candlestick Park). They had decided to stop touring – but didn’t know how to be a “band” without playing gigs. After that last show, George Harrison famously said, “Well, I guess I’m not a Beatle anymore.” Of course, we now know they more than met the challenge, going on to produce one of rock’s greatest albums, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band . In the fascinating multimedia lecture, Deconstructing The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper , acclaimed “Beatleologist” Scott Freiman delves deeply into the creative process that produced this masterpiece. Deconstructing The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper brings you into EMI Studios to see how this landmark album evolved. The film traces the development of these now-familiar tracks, starting with rough demos, moving through successive (and surprising) takes and sprinkling fascinating factoids throughout. No matter how big a fan you are, you’ll learn things like – Which track features background vocals in German? – Why is one song in different keys for the British and American versions? – Why didn’t George Martin write the string arrangement for “She’s Leaving Home”? – Which tracks featured toilet paper, bass harmonica, and calliope? Join Scott on an educational journey into the remarkable creative process behind these timeless performances and recording sessions. The DVD includes several bonus features: *Audience Q&A *Janet Maslin (president of Jacob Burns Film Center and former film critic for the New York Times) interviews Scott Freiman. *Five short “mini-deconstruction” videos on A Day in the Life, Penny Lane, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, P.S. I Love You and Revolver. An “engrossing multimedia lecture series.” - Parade Magazine A splendid time is guaranteed for all! No, really. If you don't like it, we'll give you a full refund. Review: Engaging and Educational Breakdown of The Act You've Known For All These Years....Essential! - This DVD is part of a stellar collection of deconstructing four of The Beatles" classic albums. Scott Freiman expertly breaks down the key songs on this album, augmented by a fabulous multimedia presentation. Invoking the "fair use" doctrine for educational purposes, he plays many rare tracks (most which circulate in collectors circles). However, he isolates tracks and adroitly explains the recording process, noting the contributions made by the EMI Studios production team as well. Although I am a musician, no musical training is required to enjoy his lectures. These are not dry, clinical orations. All are entertaining and Scott clearly loves the Beatles and their music. He uses three core books as his sources (Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, John Winn's fabulous two volume set and Recording The Beatles). Scott has the advantage of breaking down/playing some of the audio that are covered in these books in interesting detail. He also discusses the work of some artists who influenced The Beatles and highlights the influence with audio. For instance, Paul McCartney has always said that the piano part in "Lady Madonna" was inspired by a 50's song called "Bad Penny Blues". Scott plays portions of both songs and points out the similarities. Just as the aforementioned books are essential to any serious Beatles' collection, Scott's DVDs bring the text to life with engaging analysis of the songs. I highly recommend all of his DVDs to anyone interested in the Beatles studio work. Review: A lot of fun for a Beatle's fan - I bought this DVD for my friend who is a really diehard fan of the Beatles. He so enjoyed the presentation and gained a few insights along the way.

The Fab Four Under The Microscope
This DVD is extremely detailed about how The Beatles wrote and recorded each track on this landmark album. I highly recommend this DVD to any serious Beatle fan. It will be particularly interesting to my fellow musicians out there. You can never know too much about these four legendary artists.

A Must
This series is a must for anyone interested in music. It's not only a brilliant account of how some of the most beloved music was created, but also shows how the Beatles music was at the center at the evolution of modern music.

As interesting as you would expect
This DVD covers all the "stuff" you kinda of know about the making of this recording but now it is all here in one place and you may refer it it anytime you may want. There is bound to be things that you did not know and will find interesting.

Too much and not enough
Too much lecturing and not enough of the actual recorded Beatle music that was the subject of the DVD

Inside Sgt. Pepper
Saw a similar program on PBS. My boyfriend didn’t see it, and he’s a huge Beatles fan. So I searched and was happy to find this by the same PBS commentator. Although it wasn’t the exact same presentation, the material he presented was the same. He’s a very knowledgeable musicologist and pointed out numerous interesting details about each of the songs that we never knew about this album.
